EATS AND TREATS

What tempts your palette? Maybe it’s Continental, Italian, or Mediterranean dishes that you crave.

Perhaps you prefer to stay a little closer to home and savor steaks, seafood, or traditional southern style fare? With literally hundreds of restaurants catering to every taste and budget, you’ll find what you’re looking for on Hilton Head.

Island dining is a true epicurean experience offering flavors from around the world and around the Lowcountry. Chefs have created distinctive dishes from the oysters, fish, shrimp, and soft-shell crabs that inhabit the local waters providing diners with a true taste of Hilton Head. Hilton Head is also the perfect place to sample regional cuisine from grits for breakfast to fried chicken and collard greens for dinner.

Whether you’re in the mood for waterfront dining under the stars, a trendy bistro, or an elegant, candlelit dinner, Hilton Head Island offers a wide array of choices. Casual and family friendly dining options also abound, the island is home to everything from funky pizzerias and colorful ice cream parlors to beachside burgers, bakeries, and delis.

If you’d rather, you can unwind over a glass of wine from one of the island’s well-stocked cellars amid the tinkling of a piano or contemporary jazz. Visitors and locals alike can catch their favorite teams on big screen TVs at friendly neighborhood pubs and sports bars. No matter where you dine, don’t forget to satisfy your sweet tooth with a decadent desert or homemade candy from one of the island’s sweets shops.

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, Twitter) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
